Catch up time

Wow! It's August!

Samson is now a beautiful 1-year old toddler!! He turned one on July 26th. He has been keeping me extremely busy! He has gone from walking at 9 months old to running constantly. I have so been enjoying being with him and my husband. We have now coined him "Wild Man" so beware if I should reference him as that. He is still very strong for someone so tiny -- tiny being 29.5 inches and 21 lbs 14 oz. at his last check up. He has also had his first haircut and transformed to a very fine little boy.
**I have given up on trying to sew diapers right now but I will investigate it again at another time. We are just doing the regular cloth diapers; they work just as well. I did however invest in some bummi's liners and they have worked wonders on them to help from getting them stained as badly. Charlie's Soap is great too!!**
I hope to put up pictures soon...my computer has been out of commission for a few months now so I finally sat down at my husband's laptop to type up this post.

I have been crocheting more than knitting lately but I have been doing both crafts that is when Samson allows me the time. I have completed a baby blanket for a girl at work who is a Georgia Tech fan. Its just a plain ripple baby size blanket in their colors. I know she will absolutely love it.

On a bright note we are now the adoptive family of a loving beagle mix puppy. About 3 weeks ago, my husband G was oil changing my car when the oil filter cartridge holder cracked. So we had to go get our extra vehicle from my MIL's house. Well when we got there we found this little starved, one day away from death's door puppy. She was absolutely pitiful. Well we just had to take her home due to the state she was in. We haven't looked back since. I took her to the vet because she had a very BAD skin condition. Turned out it was red mange. Vet gave her some meds and she is now lots better. Her name is Daisey and hopefully when I get somewhere I can hook up my camera or my SD card I will put some pictures up.


Thankfuls:
1. I am so glad I got my two week vacation.
2. I am thankful my parents were able to help us go on vacation.
3. I am thankful we were able to help out another animal by taking in Daisey.
4. I am thankful I have lost 15 lbs and still counting. (only 30 more to go)
